Charles Bukowski for President

Buk sez: “Sure, I don’t have any politics. Why should I? It’s like having gallstones. It costs money to have them removed, so why have them? I am not a political person; I mean, I cannot foresee, I can only guess and say that the situation will become more repressive.”

And he sez this, too:

“The Left doesn’t like me? But I am the working man, or at least I used to be ... I don’t like the Left in America because they are just well-fed little ninnies screaming slogans. They are too worried about getting a job or getting marijuana or tires for their cars or cocaine or going to a discotheque. So I don’t think there is any underground radical movement here. Anything underground radical is media hype, just strict bullshit ... The whole Left in America is just glorious bullshit hype—nothing like the Wobblies in the 20s.”

(from the January 1982 issue of High Times magazine)

Buk also sez:
